Hitachi has developed a “lensless camera” that can take photos and video images without using a lens.

In accordance with the proliferation of IoT (Internet of Things), there is a growing need for a camera that is so unprecedented that it can be installed anywhere. To address this need, Hitachi has developed a “lensless camera” that can take photos and video images without using a lens.

Eliminating the lens has helped realize a very thin and compact model. Moreover, the Company’s proprietary photographing technologies have made it possible to enhance the processing speed and adjust the focus after shooting the images. The lensless camera, which features thinness, compactness and high functionality, will bolster the evolution of IoT going forward.
